8 Advising The Computer Science Department has established an advising structure that is supported by the Computer Science faculty and graduate students. During the early advising period, you will be assigned to one of the faculty members by your last name. You may sign up with your advisor using the sign-up sheets in the CMPS Department office, Room 222. After the early advising period, students will be advised by either setting up an appointment with their faculty member advisor, or by setting up an appointment with the department's graduate student advisor in Room 222G. Appointments for Advising You must make an appointment with your assigned faculty advisor. Please refer to ULink to see who your faculty advisor is. During the early advising period, sign up for an advising appointment using the sign-up sheet in the CMPS Department office, Room 222. Schedule of Classes The Schedule of Classes can be accessed online. Select the Current Students Link, then the Schedules of Classes link under the heading Courses and Calendars. Use information found in the schedule of classes to complete a trial schedule before your appointment. Your advisor will clear your advising hold after you have completed an advising session with him/her. Advantages of Early Registration Scheduling is not something that should be done at the last minute. Taking some time to choose your classes wisely will help you graduate on schedule and also improves your performance each semester by distributing the workload of difficult project courses. Information about Courses and Curriculum Prerequisite A prerequisite is an academic requirement which must be satisfied prior to enrolling in a course. Corequisite A corequisite is an academic requirement which must be satisfied concurrent with enrolling in a course. A student requesting a course must be currently enrolled in all corequisites listed for that course or must otherwise satisfy the instructor and the head of the department that he/she has had the equivalent preparation. To obtain information about courses and the curriculum, consult the UL Lafayette catalog, the Computer Science Web Page ( or this Advising Handout. These sources of information include the curriculum, the prerequisite structure of the computer science core, courses which may be chosen to fulfill the various degree requirements, regular fall and spring course offerings, and courses which do not count towards your degree.
